Yi Tian didn't dare to be careless when he was sleeping at night, he thought of various methods but felt that it was not feasible, and finally he simply slept with Mu Ran and stretched out his right hand to hold him tightly in his arms. The two of them have never been so close, but Yi Tian is not in the mood to think about it at this time, and Mu Ran has no reaction at all.
It was around 3 or 4 in the morning. Mu Ran moved in Yi Tian's arms. Yi Tian didn't sleep deeply, so he woke up immediately, first subconsciously tightened his hands, and after making sure he was still there, Yi Tian opened his eyes to look at him.
Mu Ran looked into the distance, his mouth moved slightly, muttering something in a low voice, and his body moved forward as if remembering. Yi Tian leaned over to listen to his voice, but the voice was too low for him to hear anything. Yi Tian wondered if he was going to go to the toilet, so he let go hesitantly. Without restraints, Mu Ran got up and got out of bed almost immediately, but his destination was not the bathroom, he opened the door and walked out, Yi Tian quickly lifted the quilt and got out of bed to follow.
When Mu Ran was about to go down the stairs, Yi Tian grabbed him nervously, frowned and said in a deep voice, "Go back to sleep." But Mu Ran seemed to be unable to hear him, looking at the front and continuing to mutter with all his strength. Want to break away from him and move forward. Yi Tian noticed his determination, thought for a while and decided not to stop him, and loosened his strength to pull him downstairs carefully.
After going downstairs, Mu Ran entered the kitchen, Yi Tian worried that he would touch the knife and drag him back. Mu Ran's strength suddenly increased, and as soon as he shook off his hand, he quickly walked to the refrigerator and opened the door. Yi Tian was taken aback, and simply stood by to watch his movements.
There are a lot of ingredients in the refrigerator, which were bought by the aunt who came to cook today. Mu Ran took a few eggs and turned around to find a small pot in the cupboard. He washed the pot, took some water, carefully put the eggs in and boiled it. Yi Tian frowned, his heart skipped a beat.
Mu Ran stood in front of the stove and watched the water temperature rising and steaming.
He is no longer expressionless, the corners of his mouth are slightly curved, and the smile on his face is gentle and warm.
After the eggs were cooked and cooled, Mu Ran sat down on the dining table, lowered his head and silently peeled the eggshells. The white, tender and round egg whites were exposed, and he left a small circle of eggshells where he was holding them, and then smiled and handed them to the side.
No one was around.
He just keeps passing the egg to an empty void, like a ridiculous sculpture.
Time passed by, the brilliance in his eyes dimmed little by little, and the smile gradually disappeared from the corner of his mouth. Finally, when he loosened his fingers, the egg fell to the ground.
Yi Tian, who had been watching him from the side, didn't say anything, just walked over and took his hand that was still outstretched in the air into his palm, and led him to the bedroom upstairs. Mu Ran didn't struggle, just opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, he just stared at Yi Tian's back and followed him obediently.
Back in the room, Mu Ran fell asleep almost as soon as he touched the bed, like a robot that ran out of battery, and didn't even have the strength to open his eyes. On the other hand, Yi Tian didn't fall asleep all night.
The next day Xu Ran came over to give Mu Ran some psychological treatment, but this time no matter how hard she tried to communicate with Mu Ran, Mu Ran didn't speak, and kept sitting stiffly all the time, looking forward lazily. Xu Ran didn't expect the situation to suddenly become so serious. Just a few days ago, Mu Ran could still communicate with her intermittently.
"Is there anything unusual about him yesterday?" Xu Ran knew that Mu Ran tried to commit suicide again yesterday, but it was impossible for Mu Ran's condition to deteriorate overnight. Yi Tian looked at the person who was stiffer and duller than before after waking up in the morning, and said in a deep voice: "He probably had hallucinations last night." Xu Ran frowned and looked at Yi Tian questioningly. The action said it again.
Xu Ran pursed her lips and fell silent. When Mu Ran talked to her that day, her thinking was a little confused. She only roughly figured out the cause and effect, but didn't know much about the details. Even when asked about the most important mute mother, Mu Ran would only mutter to himself and repeat in a trance, "She is the only person in this world who treats me well." According to Yi Tian's description, we can only speculate about the one from yesterday. The hallucination caused secondary trauma to Mu Ran's psychology and aggravated his illness.
After contemplating for a long time like this, Xu Ran finally made up his mind and said to Yi Tian, "I'll prescribe him risperidone and sulpiride." In fact, she doesn't recommend taking medicine. No matter how good the antidepressant medicine is, it will have side effects and dependence. But now if there is no drug intervention, this person is finished.
"No." Yi Tian looked at the man sitting quietly on the sofa with empty eyes, and refused sullenly. Xu Ran told him about these two medicines on the phone yesterday, and she just wanted to tell him that if psychotherapy doesn't work or the effect is not great, he can take medicine treatment at the same time. Yi Tian couldn't accept the side effects of these medicines, and he was still unwilling to admit the fact that Mu Ran was actually a mental patient.
"He has already appeared in a state of depressive stupor, and the disease is getting worse! He still has some life instincts, and he knows how to eat and sleep. If it develops further, he will become incontinent, will not eat or drink, and will not even swallow saliva. What will you do when the time comes? Throw him out when you run out of sympathy? You might as well just kill him now!" Xu Ran became more and more excited as she spoke, and finally got up and slapped the table.
Yi Tian didn't say a word, but He Xudong couldn't help it, and asked hesitantly: "My wife, what, I just want to ask, is he really not listening to our speech or is he just pretending?"
Xu Ran flung his eyes at him, "Pretend to show me!" He Xudong lowered his head and rubbed his nose without speaking, Xu Ran turned his head to look at Mu Ran, who was silent and unresponsive to their conversation, "Human The subconscious will protect the human body and prevent people from suffering, which is what we often call the psychological defense mechanism. He has been severely traumatized and cannot die, and the body automatically responds to avoid harm, closing him in the inner world and cutting off the pain. His perception of the outside world also cuts off the source of his pain. He can definitely hear what we say, but he has no way to organize these words, read the meaning inside and react."
He Xudong looked at her in bewilderment, Xu Ran sighed, "It's like a person fell into a remote place, the only thing that can communicate with the outside world is the mobile phone in his hand, but this ghost place doesn't even have a signal! Such a situation Come on, even if he has a mobile phone, he can't contact others, and of course others can't contact him!"
He Xudong nodded suddenly. Xu Ran sneered and added to Yi Tian: "You are really good enough to push people to this point." Yi Tian didn't say a word, but He Xudong made a "she" to Yi Tian behind Xu Ran's back. Just this temper, you don't mind" expression. To be honest, it is tragic enough for Mu Ran to look stupid now, but he can't sympathize at all. A bad job is a bad job, no matter how pitiful it is. Is it possible that everyone who fails to court has to be drugged to take pornographic photos, and the victim still has to love? There must be something hateful about the poor man, and he didn't make it like this by himself. Of course, He Xudong wouldn't be so stupid as to show it. He finally understood that his wife is a tough and sentimental master, she would burst into tears after hearing some pitiful stories. If she knew his true thoughts, wouldn't she kill him
"You guys go back." Yi Tian who had been silent all this time suddenly said, Xu Ran turned to look at him, and he reiterated expressionlessly: "I won't give him medicine."
Xu Ran's complexion changed and he almost wanted to hit someone, He Xudong quickly grabbed her hand, Xu Ran trembled with anger and asked bitterly: "Are you actually trying to take revenge on him?! You just want to see him slowly go crazy before you use it." It's the most embarrassing way to die, isn't it!"
"It's okay, my wife, calm down, that's not what Yi Tian meant." He Xudong couldn't take it anymore, he comforted Xu Ran and led him away.
Xu Ran glared at him, shook off his hand and walked out the door quickly, He Xudong smiled helplessly at Yi Tian and hurriedly chased him out.
